Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852) is the novel that moved an entire nation and became a powerful manifesto against slavery. The story follows Tom, a kindhearted and deeply religious enslaved man whose faith and dignity remain unshaken despite oppression and suffering.

A moving and courageous tale that continues to remind generation after generation of the importance of freedom and humanity.

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896) was an American writer and activist whose most celebrated work, Uncle Tom's Cabin, became a symbol of the fight against slavery and a catalyst for the national debate that led to the Civil War. The daughter of an influential preacher and raised in a deeply religious and reformist environment, Stowe used her literary talent to denounce social injustices and champion the abolitionist cause. She published more than thirty books, including novels, essays, and memoirs.
